5. Mounting the protection cover

Put the protection cover on the trimmer's housing so that
the two guiding tongues of the protection cover rest in
the provided grooves of the motor housing. Now turn the
protection cover by 90 degrees until it reaches the correct
position as shown in the drawing. The guiding tongues
of the protection cover must be properly seated in the
provided groove of the motor housing. Complete this by
fixing the protection cover with the mounting screw held
by a bracket on the lower side of the protection cover.
Attention: (fig. 2) To protect users from cuts through the
thread cutter fixed to the protection cap, a plastic cover
in luminous colour is put on the cutter blade of your lawn
trimmer (X). This plastic cover has to be removed before
operating the trimmer. Please keep this cover carefully
and use it when the trimmer is moved or stored.

6. Connecting the trimmer

The machine can only be used on single-phase AC cur-
rent. It is double-insulated in accordance with Class II
VDE 0740 and EEC 20. Before using the trimmer, ensure
that the mains voltage is the same as the operating volt-
age shown on the rating plate.
Wires of extension cord must have the following mini-
mum cross sectional area:
• Connect trimmer's plug to extension cord coupling.
• Make a loop in the extension cord, push it through the
opening in the handle and hook over the lug (strain
relief).
• After finishing work, unhook loop from lug and pull it out
of the handle.

patches of grass or weeds. The trimmer is not con-
structed and suitable for cutting large areas.

tings, dust and stones are thrown forwards, away from
the user.
